Two Reduced-emission X5 models for UK
Deliveries of the new 3.0 D and 3.0 SD X5s will begin in December. The 3-litre D records CO2 emissions of 214g/km, the more powerful SD 216g/km. The improvements, which have been specifically developed for the UK market, have been achieved by fitting a regenerative braking system, an intelligent alternator (it mainly operates when the engine is decelerating, saving fuel) and intelligent airflaps behind the radiator grille that improves the car's aerodynamics at speed, features that have recently appeared on other BMWs as part of its Efficient Dynamics programme. The revisions will make these two models and the Hybrid Lexus RX400h, the only large 4-wheel drives that do not attract the proposed £25 charge. BMW is also working to improve its 318d 3 Series, which currently emits 122g/km, to get it below the 120g/km threshold that Transport for London have said will be exempt from any charge next February.

Don't forget Gordon the Terrible's 225+ band on vehicle tax too. £400 next year and threats of worse to come.

in europe... an x5 without a diesel is very very rare
so i guess bmw will not put a lot of money in the petrol engines to reduce emission.

They are also going to use emissions for raod pricing too in the UK. There is talk of a congestion charge in NYC I believe.....it will spread to many cities over the next few years. |
